Chris Brown checks out of rehab

Singer Chris Brown has left a rehab center he checked into after his October assault arrest in Washington, D.C., but he'll continue treatment on an outpatient basis, E! News reports.

"Chris is continuing his rehab program as an outpatient and is also completing his community service in the Los Angeles area," Brown's rep, Nicole Perna, told E! News in a statement.

Brown, 24, was arrested in Washington around 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 27 after police said he punched a man in front of the W Hotel near the White House. After a court appearance the next day, he checked into a rehab facility "to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point," Perna told USA TODAY at the time.

Brown is still on probation from his 2009 assault incident involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna, and he's had numerous run-ins with the law since then.
